    My Bassani impressions.

    Let me start off by saying, I wasnt looking to gain gobs of H.P. I did want to get a more agressive sound. I installed the X-pipe w/cats and catback in around two hours. Good thing I had a two foot extension for the header bolts. I have to say it was a pretty easy install and I was working...

    I put in a JL Stealth Box with a 250/1 JL amp running off the rear speaker outputs. This is in my convertible.
